WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN'S FOOD, CAN YOU TRUST WHAT YOU EAT
It is time to seriously question and ensure the food we are feeding our children is safe. I am sure many of you probably choose organic food when you can, yet we shouldn't have to choose, all our food should be safe for our children.
Here is some information on our food:
Large amounts of our corn and soy products are made by Monsanto which are genetically engineered seeds. Created in the 1980s the DNA is reconstructed with bacteria, virus and other genes. This seed modification quickly passed by the FDA b/c of America's excitement of becoming a world leader in biotechnology. This excitement has continued, as the Bill Gates Foundation is funding Monsanto's GMO products into the rest of the world. The cause for the Foundation is sustainability and world hunger.

Research has been done on these GMO foods and many feel they are unsafe for our bodies, some even believe they are a huge reason behind our children's growing rise in allergies, autism and disease.

70% of our packaged foods contain soy.
From 1995 to 2005 Monsanto has purchased 50 companies from wheat, cotton to tomatoes to genetically modify more foods.
Monsanto was part of creating the Bovine Hormone, (produced to create more milk in cows). This hormone is in US milk yet was banned in Canada. After some "whistle blowing" by Health Canada, scientists such as Shiv Chopra, testified of the issues with the hormone as well he spoke on the bribes from Monsanto to approve the product in Canada. He was later fired.
